Are vehicles sold in the USA speed limited to 134mph?

I’ve read somewhere that there is a 134mph computer capped speed in every legal vehicle in the US. Is it true? I did a little test in my ‘21 Camry. But my car started shaking at 120mph so I slowed down, lol. The odometer in my car capped at 160 mph.

All vehicles are speed limited to protect them from damage by you. The exact limit depends on the vehicle.

Are your tires rated for that speed?

It's fairly instant death travelling at that speed if you lose control or anything happens. You have virtually no time to react. Hopefully it's painless.

I hope you mean while you were at your local track, and not on public roads trying to kill everybody in your path..
